Pick Your Own Apples will open in August 2026! Stay tuned for opening date!
Please be sure to call our Pick-Your-Own Hotline at 860-349-6015 for the latest picking conditions and updates, or check out our Facebook page for daily updates. Please note that since we had an early Spring this year, we are expecting our apple season to end around late October. Picking will also be more in the back of the rows, there will be more walking to find apples.
Our Pick Your Own Apple trees are nestled on 200 acres of Pick Your Own fruit orchards and fields overlooking the scenic Connecticut River Valley. We have one of the largest apple orchards in Connecticut. It's no wonder why Lyman Orchards was voted Connecticut's Best Pick Your Own Farm and the Nation's Best Apple Orchard for 2025!
